Hello,

Is your FSX updated to SP2, have you made any changes to the default controls so the shift+ 2,3,4,5 etc are no longer mapped. Are 2D panels set to be visible in your FSX options and lastly are you fully updated using the latest updater here;

Hello,

If you check the troubleshooting FAQ please reinstall your simconnect. It sounds like it's become corrupt and requires a reinstall.

Also worth noting that the panels have to be set to be visible in your FSX settings and also that the buttons mapped correctly in FSX to show 2d pop up panels.

Thanks,
Lewis

This happened to me with FSX and Acceleration a few weeks ago. I cured it by un-installing all my A2A aircraft using Control Panel and manually deleting all the .dat files and folders that go with them. I lost all my hours of flight time, but it worked after that.

Cheers.
Steve.

Hello,

did you reinstall simconnect and restart the PC?

Also have you check the mappings yet in FSX? If the controls are not set in FSX then you wont get any result.

thanks,
Lewis

Hello,

so the 2d panels work in the default aircraft?

Also when you said it worked before, what has changed on your system between the software working and not working?

thanks,
Lewis

If simconnect reinstall and restart doesn't work then it could be a case of FSX corruption. If this is the case a repair of FSX or checking that the two service packs are correctly installed will also tend to fix the issue.
